Monsters Inc 3D

Director: Pete Docter

A masterstroke from the Disney studio. Of all the Disney/Pixar animations, this is probably the best suited to a 3D revamp, its already-3D-drawn creatures bouncing delightfully out of the screen, with Sulley and Mike ready to claim a whole new army of fans.

They're the leading characters in an array of lovable, gloopy, slightly dopy monsters, alternately scaly and fluffy, with a varied number of arms and legs, who form the heroes of this vivid and funny computer cartoon.

If it hasn't perhaps quite the pizzaz of A Bug's Life or the Toy Story series, and the animation seems sometimes more Muppetry than wizardry, there are still lots of jokes for those sharp enough to catch them, and a literally hissable villain in the lizard-like Randall (voiced by Buscemi). He's the chief rival to big, furry, hornèd Sulley (Goodman) in the business of scaring the screams out of children that provide the power source for Monstropolis.
